🤖 How I Use AI (With Intention)
A Creative Tool — Not a Substitute
This website is the result of many years of experience, but also many hours of focused creation. While it reflects my own voice, choices, and direction, I also used Artificial Intelligence as a multifaceted assistant throughout the process.
Not to replace my work — but to enhance it.
AI supported me the same way a good conversation or a fast-drafting partner might: by helping me shape ideas, explore variations, and stay focused while keeping full control over language, tone, and structure.
🛠️ How I Used AI to Build This Site
✍️ Content Drafting and Refinement
I used AI to explore variations of service descriptions, bios, taglines, and headlines — especially to test tone or reorganize long texts. Every paragraph on this site has been written, reviewed, edited, or rewritten by me — but AI sometimes helped with speed and structure.
🧠 Idea Development
Throughout this project, AI helped me brainstorm section titles, plan the site hierarchy, and clarify how to organize my broad skill set into readable, client-friendly categories.
🎨 Visual Mockups and Creative Elements
I also used AI to generate supporting visuals for projects like the Xenobiology Museum, and to create fun illustrative elements (like action figures and fictional portfolios). These visuals were based on prompts I wrote myself and guided intentionally.
🖼️ AI Image Curation
Some images were generated to reflect a concept, tone, or atmosphere — but always reviewed, selected, and framed by me. I see this work as art direction, not automation.
🧾 Efficiency and Editing
When juggling many projects and ideas, I used AI as a fast editor: shortening long sentences, suggesting transitions, or helping rephrase copy to keep it concise. That freed up time for deeper work — like writing, organizing, and illustrating.
👁️ Behind Every Tool: Human Intent
Every page of this site reflects a creative process led by me: from the visual choices and layout to the content, tone, and structure. AI helped me move faster and sometimes see things from a new angle — but the voice, care, and intention are mine.
I use AI with purpose and perspective. It’s a tool — and like any tool, it only matters if the person holding it knows what they’re doing.
